    Fresh Tuna or Swordfish Adriatic-Style

    List of Ingredients




    4 Tbs. olive oil
    1-1/2 lb. fresh tuna, cut into 6 steaks
    1 medium onion, minced
    3 Tbs. Italian parsley, minced
    1/4 cup minced fresh basil
    1 large garlic clove, minced
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1 large tomato, cored, seeded and diced
    2/3 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped

    Recipe



    Heat the olive oil in a heavy 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the fish steaks in a single layer, sprinkling the onion and parsley over and around them. Sear the fish for about 1 minute per side so the flesh whitens and tightens. Turn the heat down to medium low. Scatter the basil, garlic and 3 Tbs. of the wine around the fish. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

    Keep the fish uncovered as you cook it 2 or 3 minutes more per side, or until still soft enough to have just a little give when pressed. If in doubt, slit into the center of a piece, checking that the meat is opaque but not dry or flaking.

    Transfer the steaks onto a heated platter. Turn the heat up to high, and add the remaining wine to the saute pan. Boil for about 30 seconds, scraping up any brown bits in the pan. Add the tomato and olives, and toss 20 seconds over high heat. Spoon the sauce over the tuna, garnish with more basil and serve.
    Serves 6.
